Which is better, OnePlus Nord or OnePlus 5? We compared their features and specs in detail

Your device's size has a huge influence on how easy it is to hold or to operate with one hand. The smaller your device's width, the easier it will be to hold, but you'll also need to take device thickness into account. And when the length and width are both smaller, you'll find that it's much easier for you to operate it one-handed, since your fingers will find it much easier to reach where you want them to. On the other hand, longer lengths and wider widths might lead to devices that are hard to carry in your pocket, bulky even when you keep them in your bag, and all around less portable.

The OnePlus Nord is 2.9 inches (73.3 mm) wide, 6.2 inches (158.3 mm) tall, and 0.3 inches (8.2 mm) thick. The OnePlus 5 is 2.9 inches (74.1 mm) tall, 6.1 inches (154.2 mm) wide, and 0.3 inches (7.3 mm) thick.

There is no real difference between the OnePlus Nord and OnePlus 5 when comparing their width, thickness, and slimness; they are both around the same in terms of one-handed ease of use and carry. Because of this, it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

If you want a smartphone that won't tire your hands out even when using it for a long time, we recommend that you buy the OnePlus 5 rather than the OnePlus Nord.

Screen size influences how well you can control your device, as well as how clear the display is. With a large screen, the text and buttons in apps will display large enough so you'll be less likely to accidentally tap the button next to the one you were aiming for. Plus, you'll be able to enjoy more high-impact visuals for games and movies.

The screen size on the OnePlus Nord is 6.44 inch, and 5.5 inch on the OnePlus 5.

For this reason, the OnePlus Nord is recommended.

Pixel density influences how nice your device's screen looks, with high pixel densities making screens look more beautiful, and letting you get more out of your games and movies. Plus, the nicer you screen looks, the less strain you'll be putting on your eyes, so you'll tend to be able to use your device for longer before your eyes get tired.

The screen on the OnePlus Nord has a 1080 x 2400 resolution and a pixel density of 408 ppi. The OnePlus 5, on the other hand, has a screen resolution of 1080 x 1920 and a pixel density of 400 ppi. There is not much of a difference in the pixel resolutions of the OnePlus Nord and OnePlus 5, so they are about the same in terms of clarity of image and gentleness on the eyes. For this reason it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

Battery performance has a big effect on the battery life of your device. However, a high battery capacity doesn't necessarily mean a long battery life. Rather, the rate of power consumption needs to be taken into consideration as well. The larger the screen and the higher the CPU performance, the higher the rate of power consumption on your battery.

The OnePlus Nord has a battery capacity of 4115 mAh, while the OnePlus 5 has a 3300 mAh battery. With regards to battery performance, the OnePlus Nord has a substantially larger battery capacity than the OnePlus 5, with a difference of 815 mAh. The OnePlus Nord can be used without charging for a longer time than the OnePlus 5, so it can be used when out and about. If you want a smartphone with a longer-lasting battery, we recommend that you buy the OnePlus Nord rather than the OnePlus 5.

Your CPU's speed will influence the processing power of the applications you run, and together with the number of cores in the CPU, as well as its clock frequency, will determine the processing power available for apps. The higher these performance factors, the smoother your games and apps will run. Conversely, if these factors are too low, your apps and games will be sluggish and struggle to run.

The OnePlus Nord is equipped with a Qualcomm SDM765 Snapdragon 765G processor, and its performance speed is 2.4GHz+2.2GHz+1.8GHz×8(OctaCore). The OnePlus 5 uses an Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 CPU that performs at a speed of 2.45GHz+1.9GHz×8(OctaCore). There is also no real discrepancy between the CPU performances of the OnePlus Nord and OnePlus 5. Because of this, both phones will feel practically identical in terms of smoothness when running apps and ease of game play. This is why it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

Your device's multimedia performance and app stability are both influenced by the amount of memory it has available. The more memory, the more apps you can use simultaneously, while keeping everything stable and smooth. Plus, there'll be less chance of animations lagging or apps crashing. You also need to keep in mind that some games won't run at all if there's not enough memory available.

The OnePlus Nord has 12GB of memory. The OnePlus 5, on the other hand, has 8GB. Comparing the memory performance, the OnePlus Nord has a larger memory capacity than the OnePlus 5, with a difference of approximately 4GB. For this reason, multitasking is smoother on the OnePlus Nord than the OnePlus 5, and applications are less likely to crash. Also, it is more enjoyable to play 3D games and VR on the OnePlus Nord. For this reason, the OnePlus Nord is recommended.

Storage capacity determines the amount of data you'll be able to save on your device. The more storage you have, the more photos you can take and the more apps you can install. Plus, if your smartphone is compatible with SD cards, then you can increase the amount of available storage. However, SD cards have a slower writespeed, making them less desirable in terms of performance, and users should be aware that it won't be possible to transfer all kinds of data to the card.

The OnePlus Nord has 256GB of storage, while the OnePlus 5 has 128GB. There is no real difference between the OnePlus NordandOnePlus 5's ROMs and storage capacities, so both can store roughly the same amount of photographs and apps. Because of this, it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

One factor in how well your rear camera (the camera on the back of your device) performs is its megapixel count. With a higher megapixel count, you'll be able to take photos with sharper detail, photos that stay clear and sharp even when printed.

The main camera on the OnePlus Nord has 48 MP. The OnePlus 5 has 20 MP. The rear-facing camera of the OnePlus Nord also has a higher pixel count than the OnePlus 5, with a difference of about 28 MP.

If you want a smartphone that is designed for video and photography, we recommend buying the OnePlus Nord rather than the OnePlus 5.

One indication of how well your forward facing camera (the camera on the same side as your device's screen) performs is how many megapixels it has. More megapixels means you'll be able to take photos with sharper detail, that still look amazing printed out.

The forward-facing camera on the OnePlus Nord has a resolution of 32 MP. The OnePlus 5's has 16 MP. The front-facing camera of the OnePlus Nord has a significantly higher number of pixels than the OnePlus 5, with a difference of about 16 MP.
